Las pruebas estandarizadas, la enseñanza de la lecto-escritura en Chile, internet, la revolución de los pingüinos, la wikipedia, la enseñanza 2.0, lenguaje, comunicación y los plobremas de la heducasión en Chile… todo al ritmo de Miguelo y Don Henley.

…Many previous studies have treated literacy as a condition that adults either have or do not have. The IALS no longer defines literacy in terms of an arbitrary standard of reading performance, distinguishing the few who completely fail the test (the “illiterates”) from nearly all those growing up in OECD countries who reach a minimum threshold (those who are “literate”). Rather, proficiency levels along a continuum denote how well adults use information to function in society and the economy. Thus, literacy is defined as a particular capacity and mode of behaviour: the ability to understand and employ printed information in daily activities, at home, at work and in the community – to achieve one’s goals, and to develop one’s knowledge and potential. Differences in levels of literacy matter both economically and socially: literacy affects, inter alia, labour quality and flexibility, employment, training opportunities, income from work and wider participation in civic society.

Johnny can’t read

Letra:

Football, baseball, basket ball games
Drinkin’ bear, kickin’ ass and takin’ down names
With the top down, get-a-round, shootin’ the line
Summer is here and Johnny’s feelin’ fine

But Johnny can’t read
Summer is over and he’s gone to seed
Johnny can’t read
He never learned nothin’ that he’ll ever need

Well, Johnny can dance and Johnny can love
Johnny can push and Johnny can shove
Johnny can hang out; Johnny can talk tough
Johnny can get down and Johnny can throw up

But Johnny can’t read
Summer is over and he’s gone to seed
(you know that), johnny can’t read
He never learned nothin’ that he’ll ever need
Well, is it teacher’s fault? oh no!
Is it mommy’s fault? oh no!
Is it society’s fault? oh no!
Well is it Johnny’s fault? ohhhhh nooooo!

Couple years later, Johnny’s on the run
Johnny got confused and he bought himself a gun
Well, he went and did something that he shouldn’t
Oughta done
F.B.I. on his tail
Use a gun-go to jail
But Johnny can’t read
Summer is over and he’s gone to seed
(you know that), Johnny can’t read
He never learned nothin’ that he’ll ever need
Well is is teacher’s fault? oh no
Is it mommie’s fault? oh no
Is it the president’s fault? oh no
Well is it Johnny’s fault? ohhhhh nooooo!

Johnny can dance and Johnny can love
Johnny can push and Johnny can shove
Johnny can pinball; Johnny can talk tough
Johnny can get down and Johnny can throw up

Well, recess is over
Recess is over!

Sitcoms, T & A.
Johnny’s mind is blown away
Cop shows, horror flicks
Johnny’s brain is full of bricks
Rock show, video
Boob tube, rubik’s cube
Game fools, sunday school
Gain fans, gobble gangs
Wonka wonka wonka
There’s a new kid in town…
